First time hearing... 2Pac - "Unconditional Love"

[@ricostarz2016]

No one else is doing what 2Pac did. He's a true poet.

[@lovinglife2150]

The song "Unconditional Love" was his dedication to everyone he loved. The first verse was about his mom and childhood. There is a verse about his friends "homies." The theme of this track revolves around maintaining loving relationships even during times when a person may be wholly distracted by trying to make it in this world. Tupac wrote this song for MC Hammer. Pac died shortly after, giving the song to Hammer. Therefore, Hammer decided to release the original track Pac recorded for him.

[@Legs555]

Rip Pac. Pac's not dead. Hes in us. We multipy

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Don't be so hard on yourself. We understand that the media purposely paints false narratives. The fact that you are open minded to exploring this journey lets us know you truly appreciate the music and genuinely want to know more about the culture. Much respect to you.

[@IAMKING7799]

AGREED! 🙏🏾💫

[@GreenMile2Stepper]

Exactly 🎯 Charlene new perspective what PAC talking about in I Ain't Mad At Ya... Many hearts like hers awakening 🧙🏿‍♂️✌🏾

[@mrcassantos]

The 🐐

[@babygeneral1985]

I appreciate your perspective changing after hearing Tupac for your own self & know why he left such a huge impact in the world 🌎 even after his death that man's legacy will never die he was the 1rst Black Rapper to be inducted in the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" enough said.

[@robertwilliamson2596]

He maybe dead to the world but he is still alive and everyone got a little tupac in themselves 🎉

[@wendymoseley6944]

Tupac was such a gifted individual. Anyone who paid attention to his art would get sucked into his message. I learned from him and wish he was still here. I hope he's able to see from heaven the impact he left on this world. R.I.P. Pac. 💖💞🦄☮️🙏🕊️

[@ibloomjr]

Wow. I love the fact that you expressed yourself in this way. Thank you.

[@IAMKING7799]

I RESPECT YOU MORE Than You Know! PLEASE Don't Blame Yourself! Your Soul is Kind! I SEE Into It. BLESSINGS 👑💫

[@nolimit-ij4cr]

What a beautiful song to react to. Don’t worry about the haters just enjoy the music ❤.

[@HottRod329]

I Remember something 2Pac said in an interview. He said when he wrote Music that he wasn’t Always the Participant, but he used Fables: which are short tales to teach a moral lesson and he also used Allegories: a poem, play, picture, etc, in which the apparent meaning of the characters and events is used to symbolize a deeper moral or spiritual meaning. 2pac was definitely much Deeper than just Music he was Teacher to some of Us .

[@shantalclayborn9853]

Tupac was definitely PROPHETIC..he felt death was coming..he was the best selling rapper AT HIS TIME.people always wanted to take that power from him..but he was a good person..he rapped about things he went thru, at the beginning, it was all positive songs..keep ya head up, changes, and Brenda’s had a baby, but when he got set up and shot by his on friends, his rap got Rough, roughed, and raw..he was mad..so his rap style changed to more gangster style , ..and he still was #1..Eminem LOVE PAC, ..Pac makes you feel his music, he paints that pic..

[@zinzayzinzay3085]

❤️ this song

[@anthonyjoseph3770]

we love pack cuz he was true to himself

[@jessiecarl-in4qm]

Pac... not pack

[@jacobruiz7642]

Mam you are appreciated.

[@seelanmoorthy2110]

Hey. It’s ok. I remember in the 90s my mum told me not to listen to these songs with swear words and I asked her to listen to 3 songs and then tell me. She now knows more about PAC than I do. Back in the 90s if you didn’t look past the swear words then you misunderstood him.

[@boondoggle4820]

Don’t ever feel like you need to apologize for who you are. As someone who grew up in the kind of environment that 2pac raps about, you had no way of knowing and I appreciate your honesty and sincere desire to understand. Because of your background and your upbringing and just who you are as a person, you bring a spirit of peace which is so highly invaluable coming from the background that I come from. That’s enough to change someone’s life and show them another possibility in life. So, I really appreciate your approach and who you are.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Thank you so much! ♥️

[@SoundBiteInc-]

He gave it to MC Hammer when he came to Death Row Records. Originally I think it was for his Me Against The World Part 2 Album.

[@kelleegreen923]

Tupac is the story on inner city black America period keeping educating yourself on the truth

[@Allhavengames]

allot of people hear Tupac or hear Rap and want nothing to do with it because the drugs and violence or the way people talk, I really appreciate you for taking the time to look at the art and stories behind it. Idk how much of it is white privilege or just being poor. I grew up the inner city, I have often thought about how my life would have turned out if I had different parents and was raised in a different place, and I think allot about weather its my fault I got into all the legal trouble and went to prison. I know I'm responsible for the choices I make but when your a kid and come up around that life you fall into before you ever really decide. so when you make a lot of the songs out of anger, or frustration and say things in a way or use language in a way people have a hard time looking passed it. I dint think I would make it to 30 and I had a lot of close friends that dint. and some times its hard to look to the future when you just need to eat and get through one day so you commit a crime or sell drugs and get arrested and now you still need to eat and pay the court money so you go right back to it and its just a constant cycle. I don't remember what my point even was when I started typing but I just want to say thank you for taking the time to actually listen to the music instead of just judging it from a distant.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Thank you for sharing your story. 🤗

[@yami4456]

As a young kid born in 1999 I started listening to 2pac when I was 6 maybe 7 I remember my mom and family being against it but to me 2pac was a poet speaking his message he was a good man who struggled with demons just like every other human being. He greatly influenced my outlook on family, life, love, and respect. He had his “turn up songs” but a lot of his deeper songs were what showed me what type of man he really was.

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Great reaction. When you can please check out 2Pac-Who do you believe in, 2Pac-letter to the president, Nas-Remember the times, Nas-War feat keon bryce

[@degrateone3777oakcliffvirgo]

Not knowing is not a problem because no one knows everything. You are learning and you are taking out your time to do so that's all that anyone should take from your comments.

[@kevinscott3493]

This might be my favorite 2pac song

[@poppystewart9206]

I love your honesty and wanting to understand. that is all we need from your side. thank you soo much.

[@waterdrops1000]

why are you being so hard on yourself? doesn't matter what you understood in the past. What matters is how you perceive it today. as a Tupac fan from 1992. I truly appreciate you, because there are not many white ladies like yourself that have the courage the way you do.

[@BronzDano]

This is one of my most favorite 2pac songs, I especially like the like “ maybe it’s me that caused it, the fighting and the hurtin, in my room cryin cuz I didn’t want to be a burden” First off, I just relate to those words, but second, this is an incredibly poignant self reflection, coming from someone who was 25 or younger.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Agreed!

[@shantalclayborn9853]

I love you..and I love this review..❤ Pac❤❤😢

Each verse has a different story behind it

You would have to be poor to understand

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

I was poor when I was little. But I don’t remember much from that time.

Charlene when 2Pac says with you and me it’s all G , he’s simply saying to his friend with you and me it’s all Good and not God.

Tupac- one day at a time og version Tupac- teardrops & close casket

[@kejuanlee4894]

You can't judge a book by its cover

[@havok6280]

I wouldn't call it white privilege. I'm fairly certain you're unfamiliar with the struggles of people in Finland as well. We know our lives and our experiences. But that's the beauty of art. You can learn about other cultures through the eyes of artists. Dave Chappelle has a bit about how blacks look at fentanyl and opiods in poor white communities the way whites viewed the crack epidemic.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Yeah... those are fair points. Thanks. 😊

Can you react to his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 👍

Love the reaction...React to " Baby don't Cry "... the video... much love...

A lot of songs to check out Don't forget My Block ,Thugz Mansion & When thugz cry!

[@HeMadNice]

Songs like this is why people love 2pac. Not his diss tracks or gangster tracks. Songs like these!

[@HeMadNice]

@@havok6280 we all enjoy this many sides. But PAC gave us songs like this because he knew Biggie, Mobb deep, jay z could never make deep songs like this. Black, white,brown gangster or rich. We ALL go through tough times. Peace brother!

[@HeMadNice]

@@havok6280 I know all those songs lol still shinnin is hard AF. Nothing compared to a soft pac song. PAC set the standard. Song cry was after pac died so….

[@HeMadNice]

@@havok6280 it’s like I said. At the time PAC was the only one making EMO songs like this. Peace brother!

[@lovinglife2150]

I enjoy ALL of his music because I don't always listen to music in the way most people do. Pac was prophetic and prolific so there was ALWAYS hidden messages in every track, IMO!!! The man was WISE beyond his years. Can you imagine being 25 years with so much knowledge in your head!!! He was a gift from GOD!!!

[@HeMadNice]

@@lovinglife2150 exactly. Rich or poor, white or black. Everybody can relate to these kind of songs. I cannot relate to a diss track of killing somebody or banging somebody else’s wife, although very entertaining.

[@cliftonmoore8316]

it's ok Tupac was not everyone's cup of tea back then. at least you took the time and learned the about us and for that it's all love.

[@BonganiSibeko-ig1wv]

Hi there Pls...react to Tupac (Are u still down RNB song ft Jon B. Jon B his white by the way, and tupac wrote the chorus for Jon B imagine that, how genius. Tupac was misunderstood from the start and the government was afraid of his influence. Tupac was talking about going to be a next black President. So the government was scared.

[@HottRod329]

First off Charlene I think you are being too hard on yourself . I think We All as People go through life Unaware of Many Things . As a Black Man I can’t fault those that are Unaware of some of the things that Effect the Black Culture and Communities. It is those that are Ignorant , and Close Minded that We should All Fault . Because it’s about All of US being Educated. The reason I’ve always loved 2Pac music is because in every song there’s a Message to be Educated if we stop and Listen . It’s like 2pac said in Ghetto Gospel it ain’t about Black or White because cause we Human I hope we see the light before it’s ruined .

[@carolinacashbrothers]

Check out 2pac Wonder if heaven got a ghetto

[@passportninja2994]

Na the G was him saying it's all Good. It's just slang in the projects. If you hear someone say it's all G , they are just saying it's all Good. He was just telling his friends that you've been so good to me, no matter what's going on if you might have done something that he didn't agree with he's just saying it's all G and basically understands that things happen in life
